I thought of this exact patch, but then decided against it.
1. The bug is in site.py -- see thread
[Python-Dev] Idle, site.py, and the release candidates
for a better explanation and solution.
2. The Idle behavior, inherited from io.IOBase is correct.
3. The consequence on *other* Python code of a fake fileno is unknown.

The solution I gave for site.py is to begin .__call__ with
if sys.stdin.__name__ == 'PseudoInputFile': sys.stdin.close()
This should be safe to do without another release candidate.

The name as seen by the user process should be checked but I cannot do so at the moment (on substitute substitute computer). This would only be done in the release by the file managers. The exact decision is up to them.

So I would replace IDLE with site.py in the title.
